UAA creates its IT-pool in Dnipro, Ukraine

It is not a secret that Ukraine has developed a very potent IT-industry over the past years and this industry is ever growing rapidly. Meanwhile Austria, like all Western Europe, is experiencing a severe deficit of IT-developers. In this context, UAA, upon being approached not once by Austrian companies to assist in filling their respective supply gaps, eventually has developed an
IT-pool composed of competent and reliable companies in Dnipro within one of the prime IT-hubs in Ukraine.

UAA, in its bridge function, is offering to accompany Austrian and Western Europe companies in need to guide and assist them in establishing a viable outsourcing,
outstaffing or establishing a joint venture or a stand-alone Ukrainian subsidiary.

Interview with the President of Ukrainian-Austrian Association Alfred F. Praus
for geopolitical magazine Bintel.

“In Russia big business is mostly driven by politics,
not so in Western world countries. There such big players as Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Facebook,
arms manufacturing companies, etc., are influencing politics through their lobbies.
This influence is sometimes so powerful
that through it even wars are waged, one of the true reasons for that being business”.

Ukrainian-Austrian Association took the initiative and organized, together with the
International Council of Business Associations (ICBAC), the international conference Foreign Direct Investment.
Prerequisites, Strategies, Measures at the Diplomatic Academy, Kyiv on May 29, 2018.

“I do believe in the competitiveness of Ukrainian products and services, at least in some sectors:
take IT, agriculture or aviation industry for instance. Ukraine has to build, step-by-step,
a market economy eventually free of vested interests
and without funds being syphoned-off: this will create a competitive economic framework.”
